Calling The Shots by Christine d'AboMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
NetGalley free book to review.
So I'm batting a thousand with the books I'm picking that I ultimately read and don't like. I don't know whats going on, but this was the worst of the bunch so far. Oliver is a man who likes to be submissive, but hasn't ever been interested in a man until he meets and starts working with Josh at his BDSM club. The problem with this is that Oliver's character gives very little pause to the act of having Josh enter him. This is later explained away in a minor way when Oliver says he's notice attractive men before but never wanted to have sex with them or when Josh's father characterizes Oliver as being a little "confused." It's like once Oliver decides to do this he has not qualms about it and just goes for it like an old pro.
I also felt little to no attraction from Oliver to Beth until much later in the story once she suggests a three way relationship with Josh. It's like she's the conduit for him to feel okay about being with Josh.
I also thought the story was week. I wanted to skip over paragraphs to get to what was happening instead of the mondane goings on to get there.
Still looking for books to make into film and television and build on the success of Fifty Shades of Grey and this certainly isn't it.
